Tonight, in Battle Creek, Michigan

Obama was to speak at a small baseball field.

My friend got there early and positioned himself on the pitcher's mound. The speaker's lectern was at first base.

My friend took this photo, and said it was "an electric evening. He was amazing!"

1. Wow, they're trailblazing.

All over the place. Just the other day, it was PA, then OH and now MI.

Obama's doing more in Michigan tomorrow, Biden is back to Pittsburgh and Scranton.

4. McCain does one event a day. He's not even working hard for votes

How he is getting even 40% of the vote boggles the mind
